Chapter 920

For this, even after Yelu Jinping lost his troops under Youzhou City, he did not issue an order to blame Xiao Shen, and he personally issued an order to send another 200,000 troops into the war zone.

But as a result, another month passed, and Xiao Shen was still grinding under the ancient city of Wuyan, falling in love with Su Dongpo, who was famous all over the world.

The two have been fighting for more than a month, and they seem to be able to fight to the old posture of the world. They can withstand it, but where should I put my face? Where does Da Liao's face go?

Especially today, after Xiao You, the head of the household department, carefully reported to Yelu Hongji, the treasury of Da Liao, I am afraid that it will be empty if it can support it for two more months at most, Yelu Hongji's emotions can no longer be suppressed, and it erupts.

"You, what's the use of raising you? Before, who told me that if the coach was changed, my big Liao Tiger would be able to cross the battlefield and defeat the Song army, but as a result, more than a month has passed, and the army commanded by Xiao Shen has destroyed the city or defeated the enemy? Say, why don't you say it now? ”

A cadre of servants tried hard to bow down, and very reverently maintained the posture of throwing their bodies to the ground, eager to put their faces on the floor.

The Son of Heaven is furious, which means that someone is going to be unlucky...... What's more, this temperamental and reckless son of Da Liao.

"Yelu Zhuo, Yelu Jiangping, Xiao Feiyan, Han Wu, a few of you, tell me about it......" Seeing these courtiers pretending to be deaf and dumb one by two, Yelu Hongji, who was becoming more and more angry in his heart, couldn't help but open his mouth to name him personally.

"Minister, minister thinks that the reason why such a stalemate has formed is actually very related to the strategic arrangement mistakes of His Highness before......" Yelu gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he knocked his head on the ground while saying loudly. The desire to survive is so strong that everyone looks sideways.

Is this a special way to survive? Does it feel like this thing is begging for death? Everyone has long seen that His Majesty has been stumped about the matter of changing commanders in battle, but you don't open which pot you don't mention, and the old things are brought up again.

"Oh? What do you mean, I don't know......" Yelu Hongji's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and the corners of his eyes twitched, but his tone became calmer and calmer.

"Your Majesty, in order to help Western Xia regain the lost territory, I specially dispatched troops and horses from the northern tribes to help Western Xia regain the lost territory, and then specially detoured, why? is hoping to catch Song Ting off guard. ”

"Before the Song court had time to reflect, he recaptured the lost territory of Western Xia. However, His Royal Highness the King of Song was righteous and angry, and after the army attacked Youzhou on a large scale and failed, he should have changed course, and the main force of the army went directly south to find fighters. ”

"However, His Royal Highness the King of Song hesitated for seven days under the city of Youzhou, and then decided to send General Yelu Datun to lead 50,000 partial divisions to attack the ancient city of Wuyan, intending to seize the important ferry on the Wuding River."

"However, seven days is enough time for Song Ting to react and send troops to the nearest ......."

I have to say that although there is a clumsy word in his name, this product is not only not clumsy, but can be eloquent. At this moment, in the face of the anger of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, he can still speak eloquently and reasonably.

"Battle, the most important thing is timing, Your Majesty has been carefully planning for several months for this battle, but because of His Royal Highness the King of Song's own momentary righteousness, it has led to today's situation."

"When Song Ting reacts, with Song Ting's current financial resources, no matter how many troops I increase in Da Liao, Song Ting will definitely follow up."

"What's more, the place of battle is located on the northwestern road of the Song Kingdom, and it is thousands of miles away from my Daliao, which is not only difficult to deploy, but also extremely staggering to transport heavy grain and grass......

"Enough!" Yelu Hongji, who was pale, slapped the case viciously. "What do you mean, the sins are all on King Song?"

"Don't dare, the minister just thinks that my Daliao is in the predicament it is in now, and His Royal Highness the Prince must bear at least seventy percent of the responsibility." Again, Jerod replied.

"Get out! Get out! Yelu Hongji looked at him angrily for a long time, and finally roared angrily.

Where did Yelu Zhuo dare to stay, and after quickly pleading guilty to Yelu Hongji, he crawled out of the main hall with a roll, and then patted his little liver with palpitations.

If it weren't for his own quick wit just now, I am afraid that not only Lord Xiao Shen and Lord Xiao would be heavily blamed by the Son of Heaven, but also these officials who were the most fierce at that time, their favor was not as good as Xiao Shen, and the degree of intimacy was too far behind.

It is very likely that he will become a scapegoat, but now, he has successfully diverted the attention of the Son of Heaven, even if Xiao Shen gets the news, he will definitely appreciate himself.

With the trust of this favored minister of the Son of Heaven, even if he is degraded by His Majesty now, with his cautious temperament, he will definitely find a way to lift himself up again.

As for the rest of the accomplices, hehe, the dead friends are not dead and poor, and it is my business.

Compared with the fact that the government and the opposition of the Liao State have not been able to decide the outcome of the war for a long time, the treasury is in a hurry and has caused a lot of complaints. Song Ting's side is not much better.

However, after all, this big war, although it is now in a stalemate. But the victory before the Great Song Dynasty, no one can say that this battle was wrong.

However, once the time dragged on, those lords and factions began to move one after another, what treasury was insufficient, what grain and grass were difficult to transport, the military had consumed too many taxes, and many projects of the country's people's livelihood were forced to stop.

It also put a lot of pressure on the young Emperor Zhao Xu, who was eager to be a wise monarch unlike Yelu Hongji, the son of the Liao Kingdom who had been reckless for decades.

Since he is a wise monarch, he naturally can't fall out with all his ministers, but at this moment, he also deeply understands that if he nods, it is very likely that this war will melt and disintegrate as quickly as possible like the ice and snow in spring.

"Official, the mourning family knows that you are very worried in your heart now, and what you are worried about is that now the ministers are complaining, the treasury is empty, and all kinds of problems are coming. However, you are not willing to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Liao......"

Since he retired from the position of listening to the government, he has been walking around with his granddaughter-in-law in the imperial garden every day, or practicing calligraphy, and the exuberant complexion of the empress dowager, who appreciates the lone ancient book, is getting better and better.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven who was listening to her, was young, but his brows were tightly locked, and his face was depressed, which made Gao Tao feel distressed.

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's not that Erchen is unwilling, but I always feel that once my Great Song Dynasty opens this mouth first, I am afraid that the advantages we have obtained before will be wiped out, and it will also greatly damage the morale of the officers and soldiers of my Great Song Border Army."

"The official family is extremely worried......" Hearing this, Gao Tao nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
